He’s always wore sketchers. Like since he was 4. Recently, he got really emotionally taking about shoes he wanted for middle school. He said if he doesn’t get Nikes he’s going to get teased. Great fucking marketing work Nike.

The shoes are probably not $300…more like $100. And the kids goal is to not feel socially ostracized, not to spend money frivolously.
It’s not worth it but give your kids whatever sheltered life you want
Having to spend money tp avoid being socially ostracized IS frivolously spending money.
Unworthy of serious attention; trivial.
Inappropriately silly.
Of little weight or importance; not worth notice; slight.
Tell me you have never been bullied without actually saying it.
To each their own…I would count not being socially ostracized as highly important, appropriate, and of significant weight.
